YouTube - Crashes from Nordschleife
 
i lol'd at the astra van! :lol: the very last clip is scary, soo many pulled over bonked! :wow:
 
Wow makes GT5 seem very realistic all of a sudden.
 
One thing crashing a car , but coming off a bike around there ... not good.
 
I will never go on that track. Its not even worth it. It can cost ur life too. If not ur life, then major repair cost or ur car! NOT WORTH IT!

Thats a bit to cautious. But depends how you want to live.

I think the saying goes sort of like this

"Better to have loved and lost rather than never have loved at all"

You've only got one shot at life! Make the most of it! But on the flip side don't get to your death bed regretting all the things you'd wished you'd done.
 
car is bad but the track is expensive enough to repair and you cant leave until youve paid it lol!! a mate spun his s2k into the barrier, wasnt cheap!!

It does make you wonder WTF you were doing last time you went round, but doesnt stop you wanting to go back for more, just a case of being very aware of your surroundings and not pushing it beyond you ability. Your car only goes as fast as you drive it, so only go as fast as you can handle.


Basically Be careful and DONT PUSH YOUR LUCK! :)

Good Video though ian, Very serious place and deserves your respect

i also had a little lol at the astra van having a very lucky miss haha

The track isnt dangerous to drive on, its a piece of road, the only reason people have accidents is because they think 'oooh its a race track' and drive beyond their limits, no different to if they/you drove beyond your limits on the public road.
 
is it the track ?
is it driver error ?
may be a little bit of both

That 70's video is pretty shocking :shocked:

Got to laugh at the clothes worn back then :lol:
 
Its the same bend thats getting them all, go wide and your screwed! Ye that ep3 took it hard! An everyone had a nice laugh :p
 
People seem to fear the nurburgring ??......

Its not the track....., Its almost like people think you pull onto the track & your accelerator jams wide open and if you cant handle it then tough S**t! which obviously isn't the case!

You only go as fast as you are comfortable with / can handle, You are still in control of the car, so just don't push it too far :)


Only thing to worry about is other people on there, and as as long as you stay aware of your surroundings you shouldn't have a problem. :nice:
